My Brother printer - MFC-J680 - doesn't seem to be getting print jobs from the printers connected to it.

Hello,
3 or 4 months ago, somehow print jobs from the computers I use, one connected via USB and the other connected via WiFi, stopped being accepted by the printer. I don't know if the computers aren't transmitting the jobs or if the printer is somehow not accepting them. I'm at work and not by the printer now. As I recall, I'll open the print interface from whatever program I'm using, (word processor, pdf reader, etc), press print, it will seem as if the job has been sent, then nothing happens with the printer.
I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 (the Kubuntu flavor), on the computer connected via wi-fi and an older version of Ubuntu, (I think vers. 20) on the computer connected via USB.
I've found that the printer's scanning function still communicates with the computer I have connected to it via USB, (I haven't tried it with the wireless connection). I also found a couple of weeks ago, that the printer will print a test page, so it seems to still be operating.
Does anyone have a suggestion for this problem?
Thanks!
